Velociti Neck straps with handle or similar experience

Yes! I have the Shires one, been really pleased with it, quality is good despite the cheap price. I did have to order the bigger size for my 13.2 but she has it on the smallest setting. The handle is in a really intuitive place and much easier than a traditional neck strap.

The only annoying thing is not enough D rings on the kid’s saddle to use it at the same time as balance support reins.

Sounds good. It’s for me and my green 14.1 Connie. Won’t need the balance reins so all good. May get one. She surprised me with an unexpectedly big jump the other day and I came off so looking to stabilise myself. Riding with plain neck strap but they are not so reliable

Did you buy Large?
 
Yes, I have a large as the small was too small, only just, but definitely too small so I’d go with a large for a 14.1

I made extra D rings like these to slot on the girth strap of my Wintec saddle.

 
I borrowed one off a friend and was really impressed with the quality of the leather considering the price.
I think they are a great idea, I think they would help sit a whip around type! Or help keep quiet hands doing fast work.
 
I got one for the spud after his brolting antics, but he’s since stopped doing that (touch wood!) so I haven’t actually ever grabbed it. It’s decent quality for the price though.
 
I have a large on my chunky 15hh cob

I prefer it to a grab strap as it stands up and is a more available height

I'm returning to riding after a few years off and have been holding it when unsteady
